It is slightly longer than the OEM battery, but still fits perfectly because the bracket has two screw holes to mount the battery, and this battery simply requires you to use the 2nd mounting hole instead of the shorter original one. It is an improvement over the OEM battery in CCA, also glass-mat which is an upgrade. My cost (on sale) was $179, and along with purchasing Carly-BMW (Android) at $50 to register it still came in at less than half what the dealer quoted. They told me battery replacement was $470 including labor. Very easy job to do yourself, if you get the registration software, and you will save a lot of $$$.

Does anyone know if NTB will register the battery? Does it must be registered? |

NTB almost certainly can't because it requires accessing the BMW specific module to do so.
Must it be? No, your car will still run. But it won't charge the battery in the most appropriate manner meaning the battery life may be affected.
Should it be? Yes.
